After this curing, the support substrate 10 is removed to leave a mesh structure which can then be subjected to a final cure. The support substrate may be soluble and removable by dissolving in water. The fibre may be a continuous fibre or a fibre tow and may be laid down to form the frame and mesh with anchor points integrated within the frame and defining turn-portions for the fibre forming the mesh elements 16. The turn portions may run parallel with the frame and span several mesh elements (see figure 4). The frame may be constructed by several turns the fibre or tow and the turn-portion may be between adjacent turns of the frame. Turn-portions may be positioned a different spacings from the edge of the frame. The structure may be used as a radiator guard for a motor vehicle.
